Book Cover: AVOIDING THE POTHOLES

I've spent a while working on this cover design. I took the RV from another photo taken at Pyramid Lake. It wasn't our RV, but it was perfectly situated. It even had a boat attached, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't include the boat. In Photoshop terms, that means a bit more work. I may yet try it, but I'm going for simplicity of composition. All pics in this cover are mine. I would love your feedback.

About Me

A Midwesterner by birth, I migrated to the West Coast just in time to be a hippie but discovered that I related better to the Beatniks. I harkened back to an "old school" world of hard bop, Coltrane, jazz, poetry, painting and photography. A large part of my life went "off the rails" and I experienced the reality of the streets for too long. Putting myself back together was the defining experience of my life so far. It wasn't easy. It did, however, nurture the writer in me. I have written novels, memoirs, poems, humorous fake emails, and commercials

for ridiculous non existent products. I have a passion for astronomy, history, psychology, the pure abstract absurdity of human experience (what the hell is it?). My partner is an honest to god Animal Communicator, as nutty as that may sound to some people. She is the real deal. She also suffers from Fibro and it's a curse with which we must work every day.
